FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Mac Jones was under center when he was calling out the Patriots’ play call. That’s when people saw it. Before the snap, the rookie quarterback winked at Miami Dolphins linebacker Elandon Roberts.
The video clip made its rounds on social media following the Patriots' 17-16 loss to the Dolphins. On Wednesday evening, Jones confirmed that he was in fact winking at the former Patriots middle linebacker. Considering that Roberts played in New England for the first four years of his career, it's reasonable to expect that he’d know the Patriots offensive system well.
